Objective & Significance of Ekadasha Rudrabhishekam

"Ekadasha Rudrabhishekam" is being organized to promote world peace, family well being & guard against adverse situations (ill fortunes, health problems, financial troubles, marital discords, depression etc.), removal of evil forces, negative energies etc. and also for uplift in all of our endeavors securing inner purity and Divine protection & blessings. It is intended particularly for the sake of washing away ones sins and afflictions bringing in Peace, Prosperity & Family Happiness.

"Rudrabhishekam" is a very important form of worship of Lord Sai Shiva, the very source of cosmic energy for the entire creation. His Divine form encompasses and extends far beyond all known and unknown galaxies and universes. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He is the conqueror of Death and an embodiment of infinite mercy, compassion and love. We owe our existence to the Divinity and have to pray and worship Him constantly with gratitude for the welfare of all mankind.

Swami in His discourses said, "Rudram is the most sacred, powerful & richest Vedic hymn & whoever at least listens to or views this ritual is also blessed with peace and prosperity". Ekadasha Rudram is one of the highest forms of worships with the recitation of the Sri Rudra Prasna (First the eleven Anuvakams of Namakkam, followed by the first Anuvakam of Chamakkam are chanted. Next again the eleven Anuvakams of Namakkam with second Anuvakam of Chamakkam are chanted. Like this for 11 times full chanting of Namakkam & one full chanting of Chamakkam is completed). Lord Shiva is immensely pleased when He hears this hymn. In the Shiva Lingam, the entire universe is personified. If the Shiva Lingam is cooled (pleased by devotion), then the universe is cooled (filled with peace and love). Abhishekam is the pooja that cools the Shiva Lingam which is dearest to His heart. That is why constant Abhishekam to Shiva Lingam while chanting Rudram is as an expression of our devotion.

Very rarely an Abhishekam of this significance, magnitude & frequency can be witnessed. Since this grand elaborate Vedic ceremony is for Loka Kalyana, the welfare of all devotees, their families, all humanity and for Universal Peace & Prosperity, all are requested to participate in this "unique Community Worship" to derive the benefits of its performance. Please come forward to help conduct this activity in a grand manner.
